  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Part 1 and Part 2: Incidence of treatment-related adverse events (AE) and treatment-related serious adverse events (SAE) [Cycle 1 Day 1 to 30 days post last dose (each cycle is 28 days)]

    2. Part 1: Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) [Cycle 1, Up to 1 month]

      Determination of DLT will be made during the first 28 days of treatment (i.e., Cycle 1) in the dose escalation phase. A DLT is defined as a clinically significant AE or laboratory abnormality that is considered possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug.

    3. Part 2: Clinical benefit rate (CBR) [From screening up to 18 months]

      CBR defined as a confirmed complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD ≥ 4 cycles) by RECIST v1.1

    4. Expansion Cohort A: Objective response rate (ORR) by RECIST v1.1 (CR or PR) [From screening up to 18 months]

      ORR defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST 1.1

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Part 1, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Clinical benefit rate (CBR) [From screening up to 18 months]

      CBR defined as a confirmed complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD ≥ 4 cycles) by RECIST 1.1

    2. Part 1, Part 2, and Expansion Cohort C: Objective response rate (ORR) [From screening up to 18 months]

      ORR defined as a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by RECIST 1.1

    3. Part 1, Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Evaluate median progression-free survival [From screening up to 18 months]

      Time from randomization to documented disease progression or death

    4. Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Evaluate duration of response (DOR) [From screening up to 18 months]

      For subjects with a confirmed response of PR or CR, duration of response is measured from the date of the first response until the time that overall disease progression (radiographic progressive disease or clinical deterioration) or death is documented.

    5. Part 1: Measure plasma concentrations of ZEN003694 and the active metabolite ZEN003791. [Cycle 1 Day 1: Pre-dose, 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours post-dose; Cycle 1 Day 15: Pre-dose; Cycle 2 Day1: Pre-dose, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours post-dose; Cycle 2 Day 15: Pre-dose (each cycle is 28 days)]

      Plasma concentrations of ZEN003694 and the active metabolite ZEN003791 will be measured.

    6. Part 1: Measure plasma concentrations of talazoparib. [Cycle 1 Day 15: Pre-dose; Cycle 2 Day 1: Pre-dose; Cycle 2 Day 15: Pre-dose (each cycle is 28 days)]

      Plasma concentrations of talazoparib will be measured.

    7. Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A, B, and C: Measure plasma concentrations of ZEN003694 and the active metabolite ZEN003791. [Cycle 2 Day 1: Pre-dose, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 4 hours post-dose; Cycle 2 Day 15: Pre-dose (each cycle is 28 days)]

      Plasma concentrations of ZEN003694 and the active metabolite ZEN003791 will be measured.

    8. Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Measure plasma concentrations of talazoparib. [Cycle 2 Day 1: Pre-dose, Cycle 2 Day 15: Pre-dose (each cycle is 28 days)]

      Plasma concentrations of talazoparib will be measured.

    9. Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Change From Baseline in Global Health Status/Quality of Life (QoL) Measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 for Overall Duration [Screening and Day 1 of every 28-day Cycle, up to 18 months (Overall Duration)]

      European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30): cancer-specific instrument with 30 questions to assess the participant QoL. First 28 questions used to evaluate 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain) and other single items (dyspnea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation, diarrhea, financial difficulties). Each question assessed on 4-point scale (1= not at all, 2= a little, 3= quite a bit, 4= very much); functional scales: higher score = better level of functioning; symptom scale: higher score = more severe symptoms; for single items: higher score= more severe problem. Last 2 questions used to evaluate global health status (GHS)/QoL. Each question was assessed on 7-point scale (1= very poor to 7= excellent). Scores averaged, transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better quality of life/better level of functioning.

    10. Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Change from Baseline in Breast Symptoms Scale as Assessed by the EORTC-QLQ-BR23 [Screening and Day 1 of every 28-day Cycle, up to 18 months (Overall Duration)]

      European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Breast Cancer Module (EORTC-QLQ-BR23) is a disease-specific module for breast cancer developed as a supplement for the EORTC-QLQ-C30 to assess the quality of life of participants with breast cancer. EORTC-QLQ-BR23 symptoms subscale includes 4 items: systemic therapy side effects, breast symptoms, arm symptoms, upset by hair loss. Each item is rated by choosing 1 of 4 possible responses that record the level of intensity (1= not at all, 2= a little, 3= quite a bit, and 4= very much), higher scores=high level of symptom/problems.

    11. Part 2, Expansion Cohorts A and C: Safety profile of ZEN003694 in combination with talazoparib. [From screening up to 18 months]
